Hello guys,
   I wanted to experiment with Dragonfly so I downloaded the GUI img file

Are you sure this should work (mapping the .img as a floppy disk)? I'm not sure this is guaranteed to work in all VMs, even (as you wrote) it did work in qemu.


I'd recommend rater taking a (non-GUI, though) snapshot ISO from http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/snapshots and install Xorg with pkg_radd(1).
